Check this out, I never knew TWA took up post was B17s and converted them for civil transport use. Interesting way of converting an old war bird to a executive transport.

I wonder what a Southwest B-17 would look like!!!

Very interesting, Tommy! I had never heard about B-17s being converted into civilian transports, but it must have been a pretty interesting experience for the passengers. Interestingly enough, the Boeing 307 airliner was also derived from the B-17, but I'm not sure whether TWA ever operated them.

sweet! isn't there a B-25 running around in the TW colors that served as howard hughes' personal airplane?
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
That's pretty amazing,
It still has the twin globes "TWA" style type too.
